Chinese authorities call on their citizens to desist from lavish and lavish weddings and take measures against these exotic customs, claiming they violate the socialist values of the country. The Ministry of Civil Affairs condemned the high-cost wedding ceremonies and offered expensive gifts. The ministry says these weddings, instead, should "adopt fundamental socialist values and traditional Chinese culture in the establishment of a wedding ceremony and family formation." Officials at a recent conference on wedding reform also stressed that it was "necessary" to adopt "the thought of Chinese President Xi Jinping," the political ideology that the Chinese president had devised in planning marriage. Chinese authorities are now ordering local authorities to set up more specific rules for "wedding etiquette."
Weddings in China are a way for those who want to boast of their wealth, a culture in which the concept of "face-saving" is important. Families of all social and economic classes attach great importance to keeping up with such appearances. Offered by guests more expensive.
For years, authorities have been trying to rein in extravagance in traditional celebrations, where the bidders initially began to organize extravagant funeral services, families were charged with high debts for very lavish rites, and went further to hiring contractors and professional guides.
Last year, one of China's provinces imposed the first restriction on everything from the number of guests. The number of tables was less than 10, the number of guests not exceeding 200, and the value of wedding gifts that must be less than 60 Thousand yuan (£ 6,820), with homes and cars not accepted as gifts. Some campaigns have directly targeted curbing "dowry prices", which have increased in China. Four decades of adopting the "one-child policy" have led to the scarcity of women. Last year, the city of Dengzhou in Henan Province tried to rein in the practice by determining the dowry 30 thousand yuan (3400 pounds sterling).
These ponies usually include the cost of a high wedding ceremony and payment of money to the bride and her family. However, prices have risen significantly in rural areas, with gender imbalances becoming more severe than in cities. More recently, authorities have been more concerned than ever before. This is due to a tradition of playing dumps on the bride and groom, where these landfills are believed to drive out evil spirits and help the young couple relax. According to some reports, one of the bridegrooms suffered a terrible traffic accident late last year when he ran into a car while escaping from a tradition before the wedding, exposing him to his hands and legs and severely beating him. Last year, a group of bridesmaids were hit by broken glass when one of the groom's groom tried to break the door and enter.
Officials say the new draft law aims to protect the poor and the elderly from depleting their savings, saving them from falling into debt and paying large sums of money for the gifts of their children's betrothal. The draft also urges Communist Party officials to ban parties that do not follow the guidelines of the new law. Sanctions can include public defamation of families and a mass boycott of lavish joys. The rules of the new law also include the establishment of a council of supervisors of weddings and mansions - already in other rural villages - to impose measures.
The Communist Party of China (CPC) propaganda agency and national civic education committees held a video meeting with local counterparts in late November, calling for measures to be taken against weddings and expensive mansions. In 2015, the Ministry of Culture condemned the rural practice of using naked women to attract attendees to the funeral procession.
Despite this paternalism by the Communist Party, many Internet users hailed these purposes and guidelines. Rising real estate prices, especially in large cities, have increased the burden of men looking for wives. It is common for a woman to demand a home for herself or her family before agreeing to marry.
